    How do you use a slab that big to begin with ?

    How often do you open the gates of heaven anyway Jim ?

    Heaven often reveals itself to us.

    when you say slab James do you mean one piece of bacon? ( you will note that there has been NO mention of FOWL in this thread)

    *drool*
    Someone asked me last week "ever have a bacon sandwich?"
    Of course I said yes
    "Do you put mayo and tomato on it?"
    I says no I don't like tomato
    "Oh....so what do you put on it if you don't like tomato?"
    I gave him this 'are you seriously asking me that' look and said "more bacon"
    Duh

    Looks great Jim!

    Large containers work well James. Trash bags and five gallon buckets can work in a pinch if you have a fridge that fits them but Long shallow containers work wonders! Restaurant supply stores have 2" full sized hotel pans with lids. You want plastic for the dry rubs. Or stainless but most are aluminum... Anyways, One would fit half a belly like Jim has in that picture. A hotel pan would fit better in most fridges. I guess if you lined the metal one plastic is would be ok but I like to have more rub not on the meat for when you're overhauling it. (Turning it over and redistributing loose cure/rub.
